Skippers Walker Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I have a Bowman's Sunduster once powered by an ED Bee. I would like to convert the Sunduster to Electric Power. Can anyone suggest a suitable set up and motor size for this 72" floater please? SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatMc Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 A couple of years ago I built an Amigo 2 (about the same span as the Sunduster) modified to take this 1050kv motor. Lipo used for first flights was a 3s 1400, lately I've been using a 3s 700 for flat field & the 1400 when slope soaring in light wind conditions. I decided to limit the current & power by using a 9x5 folder. Current 14A, power 165W, which gives a good climb to thermal hunting altitude in about 25 - 30 secs. There's also an 860kv version of the same motor which should enable a faster climb rate, if desired, using a bigger prop at the same current & power.
